Blood Moon of a neon signYou've got no good on your mindAnd I hear the color redI saw your neighbor smiling thereIn an Adirondak chairAnd I hear the color red

I don't blame you but what he's takenJust ain't worth his life, hallelujahI can't let you kill a man tonight

And you're standing on the edgeOf the color red

. 45 on the shotgun seatCold steel just a-needing heatAnd I hear the color redTraitor's kiss on an innocent cheekStole the land from beneath your feetAnd I hear the color red

I don't blame you, but what he's takenJust ain't worth his life, hallelujahI can't let you kill a man tonightWhen you think you've lost it allYou don't have far to fallTo the color red

I hear the color red

Down at the coffee shop, hear the man talkingHe pats you on the back while he's picking your pocketI hear the color redBlood in the water, big red tractorAuctioneer chants like a bad man's laughterI hear the color red

And I know sometimes, a brother needs a helping handIt may be a sin, but I'm sure the Lord will understandWhy I had to steal your gun

I don't blame you, but what he's takenJust ain't worth his life, hallelujahI can't let you go out there tonight'Cause I'm all that you have leftAnd you're standing on the edgeOf the color red
